Review: Have You Seen My Sister? - Kirsty McKay - September 2023

This cover was amazing and drew my attention to reading it on the Libby App. The book starts with Esme and Gaia Gill hanging out at a party as the family is spending their last night in the snow before Gaia goes off to college and the rest of her family heads back to Boston. That night though only one of the sisters comes home, the other ends up as a missing person. Unfortunately for Esme, she can't quite remember what time she got home or when she last saw her sister as she suffers from dyscalculia, this part I resonated with as had struggled with numbers, spatial awareness, and coordination. It wasn't until recently that I learned about this disorder and realized that I have a form of it and it all made sense. As the family tries to retrace Gaia's steps the night before, they notice that Craig is also missing and friends/family end up putting the pieces together. But what happens when they find Craig left for dead and Gaia still missing? Where is Gaia and what has happened to her? Will Esme and her family find her or is she missing forever? I have to say the ending of this book was a little weak, but it was still an enjoyable YA thriller, and fans of Natalie D. Richards, Holly Jackson, and Natasha Preston will enjoy Kirsty McKay's books.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
